Heart Game: Duality - Round 2

[idolpro]

Your sleep is restless, and it's hard to settle as your eyelids refusing to stop twitching, and you can feel an itch at the back of your mind, flashes of uncomfortable thoughts dipping in and out of your dreams, constantly interrupting your tries to relax. ... Are you even asleep?



...



Apparently you were, because you wake up with a start, cheek pressed uncomfortably to steel flooring and flickering lights overhead. Unfortunately, you don't feel very rested at all.

[inspiteful]

I mean, that's my educated guess. I don't think sadness would happen if it did work out.

[flamebound]

...mrrr...

[The cat's ears flatten against his head and he looks away, but he isn't withdrawing from pets, at least.]

[inspiteful]

...And I'm guessing you're not doing okay?

[ Looks at this room, ]

[flamebound]

[Well. It's a mess. Maybe clean up a bit?

Catuality's tail lashes slightly, and he curls into a ball.]

[inspiteful]

[ He rubs Catuality's back. ]

...I'm gonna clean up. That okay with you?

[flamebound]

Mrrrt.

[That might be yes?]

[inspiteful]

[ He'll assume it's a yes.

...Eclipse looks at the items scattered on the floor, takes a deep breath, then starts picking each of them up one by one. BRING IT, FEELINGS, LET'S GET THIS OVER WITH. ]

[flamebound]

[The bunny plush is so far the only thing giving you crush feelings. The other plushies of his friends, especially the prison squad gets intense feelings of friendship and the desire to protect them.

...the Silver plush (and the sunglasses) gets crush feelings too, though. Oops?]

[inspiteful]

[ The feelings towards B and C in particular are #relatable, at least.

...Though he's quick to put the Silver plush and the sunglasses on the shelf, not wanting to dwell on those feelings for too long.

Like a true nosey friend however, he picks up the Silence cat plush to examine. ]

[flamebound]

[The Silence cat plush has FAMILY feelings written all over it. Also a good friend, and a kind of kinship because she's... relateable. He also wants to protect her, though he finds her capable of that herself. There's pure trust here.

...there are some feelings of unsure, though they don't seem to revolve around Silence herself, but Symphony and Song.]

[inspiteful]

Well, those two haven't exactly inspired much confidence. [ Song and Silence, he means. He smiles still, and puts the plush onto the shelf.

...After a moment's hesitation, he picks up the cat plush that resembles him. ]

[flamebound]

[There aren't as strong feelings for the Eclipse plush as the others, but there are definitely ???friendship??? feelings. A small amount of excitement because he likes making new friends, and also some curiosity, because he knows Mori trusts Eclipse and he'd like to get to know him better. There's also gratefulness, for speaking to him after the House, for not avoiding him.]

[inspiteful]

[ Duality being grateful is a weird thing to experience, considering Eclipse knows the reason he went to talk to Duality was out of some sense of guilt.

...Even so... ]

Surprisingly cute...

[flamebound]

[Duality had horrible guilt over it too, it's okay, Eclipse.]

Mrrrt?

[inspiteful]

I meant your feelings are surprisingly cute.

[flamebound]

[He rubs against Eclipse's leg with a purr.]

[inspiteful]

[ He kind of wishes it wouldn't be awkward to crouch down to pet Catuality right now, but he has to area he these things first. ]

...I think before I came here, I didn't have many friends. Possibly only just one.

[flamebound]

[He won't bother him fixing things up.

Also his tail swishes back and forth. He seems pleased. Friends are good!]

[inspiteful]

Mmm, but I guess that back then, I didn't really feel like I wanted many friends either. I don't remember everything, but I get the feeling I thought most people around my age were a pain in the ass.

[...This is what he's come to, talking to a cat who represents someone's feelings, ]

[flamebound]

[...This is a very very relatable feeling. The not wanting friends parts. He was just there to rise to the top, not make friends. Too bad he can't voice it.]

[inspiteful]

[ Right, he's done putting everything on the shelf. ]

...Maybe I should be telling you all this after the game. Is there anything else I should take a look at here?

[flamebound]

Myaaaa~

[You should definitely tell him after the game. He looks around, tail swishing. Everything seems to be in order...]

[inspiteful]

[Hold on as discussed in his thread with Silence, he goes over to the door that lead into the pillow room and...

...Takes some pillows from that room and is stuffing them in the door gap so the door can't close completely...]

1/2

[flamebound]

[...he looks a little startled for a second, looking back and forth between the door and Eclipse...]

[flamebound]

[then tilts his head curiously and pads over to the door to cautiously paw at the pillows]
